Uploaded to Usenet file has been removed after 2 hours why ?

Post by s8n »

hi RB scene , i am planning to upload Virtua Fighter 5 Asian version for XBOX360 to usenet. I have acquired it and want to share it as its very hard to find.

I am new to uploading to usenet and im having a problem , i have tried uploading 3 all the same file to alt.binaries.dreamcast and all seemed fine. I checked about 2 hours later and they seemed to have been removed.

Anyone know why or whats up ? .......btw the files were Dreamcast related it was GDIexplorer app


chat soon

Different usenet servers keep things different lengths of time. Most major US ISPs stopped usenet support a while back so you'd have to pay for one to use it. It's possible that they're filtering by size or content as well.

hi Hobie ,

Im from Australia and i have a paid Account with Giganews although i dont have a SSL Account.
It's possible that they're filtering by size or content as well.
To me it sounds like this is the culprit as the file sizes were the same on all 3. I am uploading atm Super Street Fighter 2X GDI i will monitor it and see what happens.


btw did you see my Thank You Thread about moving a 100kg Arcade Machine ?

Yeah I did. I thought I posted a comment. Good to see it was in safely. :)

Ok, so you have a paid news server account, that's good. I was never a heavy usenet server but I did sometimes notice that pictures I uploaded would show up out of order or the occasional few would show up much later.

roger that Hobie , yeah i hardly use my Giganews subscription too. Im currently uploading Virtua Fighter 5 Asian version for XBOX360. It should take about 2 days hopefully everything works out fine.
